Today’s Quick Sip is the Locations E-2 Spanish NV Red Wine. Locations is the second label of Orin Swift; the original producer of the popular ‘Prisoner’ label and the eye-catching and pleasing Abstract blend – just to name a few. The Locations’ label specializes in the creation of blends from around the world. The E-2 is a non-vintage blend that combines fruit from some of Spain’s top wine regions. It is composed of Garnacha, Tempranillo, Monastrell, and Cariñena, and sourced from Priorat, Jumilla, Toro, Rioja, and Ribera del Duero. Similar to an artist with a palette of colors, blending wine is very much an art form. With the E-2 blend, winemaker David Phinney has used his talents to craft a tasty, reasonably priced wine for everyday enjoyment. For further information and where you can find this wine, please see my tasting notes below.

Locations E-2 Spanish NV Red Wine

Review: Locations E-2 Spanish NV Red Wine (SRP $22): A medium garnet-purple in color, the Locations E-2 offers a pleasing core of dark berry fruit flavors intertwined with nuances of raspberry, shy underbrush, and hints of spice box. In the mouth, it is medium-full in body, with a round, velvet-like texture. The tannins are ripe and supple, carrying the flavors through the mid-palate, and ending with a medium-length, polished finish. Overall, this is an appealing wine from Orin Swift’s Locations label that is both satisfying and reasonably priced. Grab a few bottles to enjoy with your next meal! Region: Spain. (Other info: ABV 14.5%, barrel aged 10 months, cork enclosure.) 89 Points.
